Harris Corp. has been awarded contracts to supply radios to Middle Eastern and African nations.
The company received a $17 million order from a Middle Eastern country for Falcon III tactical radios. The country was not identified, but a Harris news release did say that the Harris RF-7850M radios “will provide wideband networking to forces at the brigade level and below and will deliver command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities.”
Harris also won an $11 million contract from an African nation, also unidentified, for RF-7800H-MP wideband tactical manpack radios, RF-7850M-HH multiband networking handheld radios, and the RF-7800V-HH VHF Combat Net Radio (CNR).
“Harris’ Falcon III radios will support the customer’s need for simultaneous, secure voice and high-bandwidth data across a wide range of military missions,” said Chris Young, president of the compnay’s communication systems division. “Our strong presence in the region, coupled with our ongoing investment in advancing Falcon solutions, enables us to transition customers from their legacy, voice-dominated tactical radios to networked wideband tactical radios.”
